Most people think creatine is only for building muscle—but when you push the dose higher, something very different starts happening inside your muscles and your brain. In this episode, I walk you through what actually happens when you take 20–30 grams of creatine per day, how quickly your muscles and brain begin to saturate, and why many of the most surprising benefits don’t show up until weeks two through six.
You’ll learn:🔹 Why megadosing creatine impacts brain energy differently than standard doses🔹 What really happens to strength, muscle fullness, and water weight🔹 How creatine affects memory, focus, reaction time, and mental fatigue🔹 The timeline of changes from day one through week eight🔹 When to scale back to a maintenance dose for long-term results
